Education and Atrial Fibrillation: Mendelian Randomization Study.

Global heart - 1 Jan 2022

Liu Yaozhong, Liu Chan, Liu Qiming

Abstract excerpt

Low social-economic status is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), but the extent of any causative effect is unclear. In the present study, we evaluated the causal role of educational attainment (EA) on AF using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Results from traditional single-variable MR indicated a modest causal effect of EA on AF. Sensitivity analyses using different MR methods yielded consistent...
